One of Portland's oldest neighborhood associations, the PDNA was formed in 1977 to improve the livability of the central city.

Among other activities, the PDNA...
Organizes public meetings, forums, and discussions on issues that affect the quality of life in downtown Portland
Adopts positions on topics of community concern, using a variety of strategies to advocate for those positions
Sends representatives to city bureaus and planning groups that deal with parks, transportation, development, urban renewal, housing, homelessness, and other significant public issues
Coordinates social gatherings, such as ice cream socials, group rummage sales, picnics, and concerts in the park

Membership is free and open to anyone who lives, works, owns property, or attends school downtown. The PDNA's boundaries correspond roughly to the I-405 freeway, the Willamette River, SW Stark Street, and W Burnside Street.

Subscribe to the PDNA's low-volume email list. You'll receive occasional messages limited to brief announcements about upcoming meetings and events. We promise not to share your email address with anyone.

Participate in online discussions of downtown issues and PDNA activities.

If you care about these and other issues, why not join us?
